About this property

Architectural Luxury Retreat in Rainforest Reserve

SET HIGH AMONG THE TREETOPS OVERLOOKING A PRISTINE BEACHFRONT RAINFOREST

Our luxury beachside lodge 5 minute walk from Broken Head beach and the majestic Tea Tree Lake.

Glass doors slide away to create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that allows cooling sea breezes and dappled sunlight to flood the spacious interior. Tucked away in the rainforest at Broken Hd Beach, the lodge boasts a range of unique elements sure to please everyone. Escape life and embrace the natural beauty of Broken Head!

Designed by award-winning architect Harley Graham (HGA), The Eco Lodge is the latest addition to Byron Beach Retreats.

You will awaken each morning to the sounds of the ocean and birdlife and bathe in the dappled sunlight filtering through the treetops. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast as you take in the landscaped gardens and rainforest from the comfort of your expansive north-facing deck. Then, at dusk after a full day of beach activity and exploring, take a dip in the infinity-edge magnesium plunge pool or settle in with a glass of wine and be entertained by the abundant wildlife of Broken Head Nature Reserve. Pure bliss!

The Eco Lodge is designed with a minimal environmental footprint. Its extended flat, sloping rooflines are used to harvest and collect rainwater. At the same time, electricity is supplied by a 15kwt solar system on the roof. Smart glass windows control heat and light and retract and disappear to create a smooth transition from indoors to the vast wrap-around undercover deck. Natural light spills from skylights and light wells throughout the property and louvres are used extensively to enhance natural airflow.

This private sanctuary comprises of four north-facing bedrooms sleeping a total of eight guests. Each room provides luxurious, 5-star resort-style beds, three bedrooms have king beds, the fourth bedroom has 2 long singles. There is a total of three bathrooms, two of which are master ensuites. One features a deep free-standing bath inviting you to lay back and soak up the serenity as you unwind.

The contemporary open plan living, kitchen and dining areas flow seamlessly to create an unrivalled experience of light and space, which is further amplified by the soaring roofline. Thermal mass concrete floors provide natural insulation that is cooling in summer yet absorbs heat from the low lying sun to warm the entire house efficiently in winter.

A fully equipped chefs kitchen with its warm timber trims and top of the range appliances invites you to stay in and cook up a storm. A large island bench provides plenty of space for your family or guests to join in. Or if you prefer to cook outdoors, there is also a Weber BBQ.

Pack a picnic lunch and take a leisurely 7-minute stroll through the rainforest to a secluded ti-tree lake. Enjoy lunch, and a dip in the healing waters then continue on to Broken Head beach for hours of fun in the sun and surf. A stay at Beach Retreats Eco Lodge is a luxury experience you will not forget!

Amazing property, location and A1 hosts!

Beautiful property to say least and the house is huge! The top level has an amazing kitchen, huge lounge area with very comfortable and practical furniture, outdoor area with lovely furniture and bean bags, massive balcony, pool, BBQ area, 2 x master bedrooms with ensuites. Downstairs is a whole other house almost. With a well equipped kitchenette, another massive lounge room and another 2 bedrooms with a seperate bathroom between the 2 rooms, but not interconnected which is perfect for teenagers. You could have a large family of 6-8 or 2 x families of 4 stay there and be very comfortable and happy, The lower lever opens up onto a beautiful grassed area over looking the bush land. The host/owners are incredible and respond to any questions very quickly and are very accommodating especially if you have little dog like we do and the upper level is fully fenced enclosed for you little doggie family member. We will back very soon! Loved, loved it. Only thing I can say is that there is powder room so if you have visitors they will need to use one of the ensuites which was not a problem for us as we are not that precious. Very close to the beach too and everything 😊

Beautiful house in a beautiful secluded bushland.The house was so comfortable and relaxing.The balcony and pool area was fantastic for our large family to relax together but also have their own space.Beautifully furnished and wonderful ambiance.Only issue was noisy neighbours(it was over holiday time)and house had no central bathroom/toilet which was strange but otherwise fabulous.

Best VRBO stay ever!

We have been traveling around Australia for 2 months going from one VRBO to another. And this home was by far the nicest! Looks brand new, everything works. Amazing house. If I were to change anything: softer beds and heated pool.

Private Luxury!

Our stay at the Eco Lodge was incredible - everything is so beautifully presented with thoughtful detail. The view from every room is serene and the close proximity to Broken Head’s beautiful beaches is ideal! Amanda was so attentive during our stay and checked that we had everything we needed. This place is perfect for families or groups, and even better for a romantic couples getaway. We can’t wait to come back!
